Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
Where were you when I laid the earths foundations? Tell me if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together for joy!
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Fathers commands and remain in his love.
When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
LIBERATING ALL
September Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
It is for freedom that Christ set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
LIVING GREEN
May Psalm 24:1 (NIV)
The earth is the Lords and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in Love.
Then God said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the groundeverything that has the breath of life in itI give every green plant for food. And it was so.
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
The spirit of the Lord is on me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.

Join Trinity United Church of Christ and The DuSable Museum of African American History during Black History Month, as we Commemorate
The Journey of Remembrance begins Sunday, February 2nd, and continues each Sunday through February 23rd (all worship services: 7:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 6:00 p.m.), as we
travel from the shores of Ghana to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, to the slave ports of New Orleans, concluding with the great migration north to Chicago. We will be immersed in the spiritual, cultural, and historical perspectives of our ancestors.
